Modelling and Simulation of a Combined System Geothermal Binary Plant and Parabolic Solar Concentrator
Abstract: The present work describes a new prototype that uses the concentrated solar radiation to improve the performance of geothermal power plants. Current methods of heat recovering have been used to reduce the amount of fossil fuel used to produce vapor or to increase gas pressure and temperature, depending on the type of system; however, concentrated solar energy is an unknown resource that may help to increase vapor production at a …

Gob to pursue heat to mould – a study
Abstract: This article is the study of gob at hot state between molten glass pool and mould machine. The empirical description has modification from trial and error prosecution to suggest automated produce equipment. Feedback sensing loop from plunger feed at mould has data conversion ethic to shaped mass regulator equipment. Modification in the trajectory of flow line production has improved quality produce at minimized wear. Difference in composition-wise viscosity and heat …

Experimental Study of Solar Still with Rotating Wick to Increase Productivity
Abstract: In the present work, an attempt is made to enhance the productivity of the conventional basin type single slope solar still using a vertical rotating wick. A rotating wick (Jute cloth) belt is integrated against the still back wall to act as an additional evaporation area. A set of experimental tests are carried out by applying constant heat flux using halogen bulbs and by varying the brackish water height in …

Design and Analysis of S-Glass Heat Exchanger
Abstract: This paper focuses on the composite material named S-Glass fibre Heat Exchanger. Since the existing design of heat exchangers are generally made up of metals which produce a critical amount of heat loss to the surrounding from the shell. These are also less corrosive resistant, have low life and high weight. To overcome these drawbacks, use of composite materials has become essential. There is a need to redesign using composite …
